The nonprofit research institute performs client-sponsored research and development for government agencies, commercial businesses and private foundations, forms strategic partnerships, licenses its technologies, and creates spin-off companies. The new SRI Center for Advanced Drug Research (CADRE) at Shenandoah Valley in Harrisonburg, VA, in collaboration with Pathway Logic group at SRI Menlo Park, is developing a computational modeling group that will collaborate with experimental researchers to enable new insights emerging from a close integration of experiment and modeling. One position is currently available, but other positions are expected to open in the coming years. *Job Description* A ground floor opportunity for researchers interested in new directions for systems and computational biology is currently open. The task includes curation and computational validation of models of metabolic and signal transduction pathways. The work will involve deriving mechanisms/reactions from relevant published literature and reports of experimental results to populate knowledge bases of metabolic and/or signaling reactions. The Pathway Logic system (http://pl.csl.sri.com/) will be used to analyze and validate the resulting growing network of reactions. This system is based on a novel approach to model biological pathways using logic-based methods developed to model concurrent processes. Networks can be navigated and queried interactively to gain an understanding of the interconnections and possible outcomes. Curators will work with experimental biologists to fill in gaps in pathways of interest. Results of testing hypotheses generated by the computational validation and analysis will be used to refine the models. Training in the use of Pathway Logic will be provided. *Requirements* Candidates should have Ph.D. or equivalent experience in a biology oriented discipline. In particular, they should have substantial understanding of cellular biology and the experimental methods used in the study of cellular processes such as metabolics or cell signaling. The candidate should be comfortable using computers, and have an interest in using computational methods to develop models of biological processes. Experience with programming, formal methods, computational modeling or bioinformatics tools is desirable, but not required. Knowledge about immune systems is particularly welcome. Research at SRI is highly interactive and collaborative, and we expect applicants to contribute to our intellectually open culture. There are extensive opportunities for collaboration within SRI, federal agencies and with universities. Opportunities exist for holding adjunct appointments at a local university. Successful candidates will be expected to obtain national and international research funding, publish their results in refereed journals, and mentor junior researchers.

Current research seeks an understanding of molecular mechanisms by which phas is turned on and off (Plant Cell. 2006, 18:119-32; Plant Mol Biol. 2008, 66:233-44). We have shown that both genetic and epigenetic systems are involved, with ABA-mediated transcriptional activation following ordered epigenetic remodeling of chromatin architecture over the phas promoter. New NSF funding provides an opportunity for a talented and enthusiastic postdoctoral to demonstrate what protein components are recruited by the B3 domain effector PvALF to achieve remodeling. The project includes Arabidopsis transformation and the use of inducible systems. Candidates with demonstrated experience in ChIP assays and good bioinformatic skills will be at an advantage. Application Instructions: for more information or to apply please contact : Dr. Tim Hall, Institute of Developmental and Molecular Biology, 3155- TAMU, College Station, TX 77843-3155. Applications should preferably be sent by e-mail to: tim@idmb.tamu.edu and will be accepted until a candidate is hired. Submissions should include a cover letter explaining interest in the position and career goals and a resume listing publications and research experience, together with contact information for three references. Preliminary enquiries may be made by calling Dr. Tim Hall at 979-845-7750. Texas A&M University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer committed to diversity. Stipend: The appointment is available immediately, initially for one year, and renewable for up to 3 years. The annual starting salary will reflect qualifications and experience. Benefits include excellent medical insurance and retirement plans. Texas has no State income tax.
